#

Is moonfire bugged in last boss ?

maiden pasture
#

Bugged how

wide dawn
#

You need to stand on boss to use it

livid jay
#

worked like normal for me

wide dawn
#

Dunno will try glyph of stars then

#

I have to stand in the end of the platform to cast moonfire at him

livid jay
#

do you have a weird moonfire macro?

wide dawn
#

Dunno 😄 just looking for fix

indigo tree
#

For elune's chosen 4pc, is it worth holding fury of elune to try and get max stacks of gathering moonlight or is it better to just send it on cd?

wide dawn
#

oh fuck yeah

#

the barrel macro

livid jay
#

maybe try without that before going glyph of stars xDD

wide dawn
#

Thanks

hi friends! kinda new to balance, so my apologies if this is a repeated question.
i notice in wow head, for raid- aoe/adds dmg they suggest this talent-swap from the main ST build

but at the same time, in wowhead the author also mentions, that starfall got nerfed and starfire is my main saurce of aoe dmg.

doesnt that mean i would like to keep that 20% extra crit dmg for my starfire?
or extending my dots and therefore not having to recast them as often, is more important than the 20% extra crit dmg?

crisp scaffold
#

U get 4set?

livid jay
#

The cleave/aoe build is a Elunes Chosen build right?

broken valve
#

no, its kotg aoe build for aoe raid fights ( add fights like the 4th boss )

broken valve
#

( also for a moment i though u were a bot xD )

fossil hemlock
#

You still want to dump astral power to benefit from the tier set, and extending dots also gives more time to cast starfire

broken valve
#

oh!!!! i see. tyvm for the input

livid jay
#

how high can we stack Gathering Moonlight? 😄

#

if we dont press foe

jaunty blaze
#

Doesnt say its capped anywhere

pearl pivot
#

but 6 stacks are max afaik

hidden moat
#

I have not played in a while , are the trees cast on target or ground?

lofty depot
#

Ground

maiden pasture
#

u place them, you can use a macro to do them @cursor

#

they dont cast on target

hidden moat
#

Oh

#

Is that hero spec better than Elune?

lofty depot
#

In st yes

livid jay
#

u guys think krona would rather be playing boomkin right now? PepeHands

scenic mist
#

Tbh feral is funnier than balance atm

#

And hits like a truck

royal zenith
#

without a doubt

livid jay
#

i never really liked feral

#

too cringe with which buttons u can press without downgrading a bleed

inland stump
#

Hi I am new to balance druid, for M+ is it better to go Kotg or elunes chosen? only got 2 set right now

lofty depot
#

Ec

inland stump
scenic mist
livid jay
#

idk when i played it on tindral and fyrrak prog i tried to not downgrade anything and ended up pressing a lot of the one button where u have 3 charges of (brutal shlash?) but which u wanna use to keep bloodtalons up

lofty depot
#

Just got used to pressing shred, thrash, bs

#

In that order always

#

And then had timers for the last 3 pressed

opaque pebble
#

I'm still a little confused on rough Cd usage on a st fight on about a 5 ish min encounter. Is it send on pull with double CA with the dryad buff, then send as normal at 2m with convoke and trees then try hold CA until 4 ISH mins for double CA convoke dryad again?

scenic mist
#

Can look at what the sim is doing to get timers
But that’s it

lofty depot
#

What is "try to hold"

#

Lol, u hold because u'll get another double ca

pallid bay
#

ill explain it to you arctic

#

sim has duration variation gg

lofty depot
#

He said on a 5m ish encounter

pallid bay
#

gg

viral cliff
#

is DISC basically just stuck there till mythic? (I say that loosely) heroic belt doesnt even seem to sim better than disc hmm

lofty depot
#

3rd spark can replace it

#

But yea

viral cliff
#

god that sucks let me get rid of this belt

lyric fog
#

According to compendium, we are beyond spending AP. 😄 (EC, aoe)
Would appreciate if someone would have some context here:

  • Is this true no matter of set status?
  • How big of a difference is it anyway?
#

So just starfire spam no matter of overcapping if starlord is at 3

lofty depot
#

No, because the tierset part of "gaining asp" would then not work

jaunty blaze
#

More than ever you do not want to overcap

lofty depot
#

And theres more than 1 Starfall condition in that prio

lyric fog
#

I see - I think I read it wrong - thanks!

lofty depot
#

Read like number 3 or 4

lyric fog
#

yeah

spice swallow
#

would a heroic voidglass weapon be better than 2h craft

cloud plover
spice swallow
cloud plover
#

that's what I thought

spice swallow
jaunty blaze
#

Computer says no

royal zenith
#

maybe I craft belt

livid jay
#

i mean its close

#

for me at least

#

dagger and crafted offhand

#

is slightly more crests than crafted 2hand but 1 spark less

#

and 0.2% worse

lofty depot
#

Sparks matter less than gilded tbf

robust oracle
#

is it better to use all astral power before or as i get into an eclipse

livid jay
#

no

livid jay
maiden pasture
livid jay
lofty depot
livid jay
#

and thats another lot of gilded crests

maiden pasture
#

You have a free HC crest from the campaign you can use

livid jay
#

ye true

livid jay
wanton bone
#

I know yall were just talking about it and sims weigh in a tiny favor of crafted 2h but, what is the consensus for crafting? Offhand + other piece?

#

im not going to see mythic raid weapons for quite a while so i was leaning towards crafting 2h

livid jay
wanton bone
#

when i say a while i mean, like months

lofty depot
wanton bone
#

ya makes sense

lofty depot
#

U can get lucky with m+ weapon but nonetheless

full tundra
#

is 4p a gain in m+ situation? or we going 2+2

heavy iris
#

my 4set KotG is still simming better with cosmos 👌

full tundra
#

did some keys with 2+2p and 4p and idk 2+2 feels stronger on ec m+ build

red nymph
misty glade
#

Can I get some clarification for my smooth brain? When convoke returns at the ~1:45 point, I would still CA, 2 globals, trees, convoke? We would need to hard cast to get back into eclipse after this to dump our surges right? Why would we delay trees, convoke in this situation?

And if we take potent enchantments, can you still use CA at the 1:45 mark with convoke and still have double CA at 4min?

lofty depot
#

Yes u still trees 2 gcds in. No u don't need to enter eclipse because CA lasts 12 seconds and dryad despawns at 10

#

U pool asp and send surges for the last 2 seconds of ca

misty glade
#

Oh. For some reason I assumed dryad died at the end of CA, not 10 seconds in. Oops.

#

Damn, I need a WA that makes it super obvious when the dryad despawns.

lofty depot
misty glade
royal zenith
#

look at that

lofty depot
#

Or u could use the OiBalance pack cuz it has it in there

full tundra
#

sooo we click 2nd ca at 2 sec to expire mark ye?

royal zenith
#

a weakaura that shows dryad and dryad's favor

#

holllyyy

lofty depot
#

There's a CD planner on dreamgrove u can use to see this

royal zenith
#

can't wait for fights to be less than 4 minutes

#

or with awkward timers

lofty depot
#

Araz is already like this

royal zenith
#

yes, it is

lofty depot
#

350 amp....

misty glade
#

Oh shit, I had no idea DG had a cooldown planner.

royal zenith
#

"Okay guys, dmg amp soon"

#

thx

#

love it

lofty depot
#

The 430 saladbar amp is peak

livid jay
lofty depot
#

Depends on fight timers

royal zenith
#

good thing we didn't talk about potent like

#

a few minutes ago

#

else you would've missed this screenshot

maiden pasture
livid jay
misty glade
#

scroll up, I just asked quesitons about it 🙂

royal zenith
livid jay
#

oh ma bad xD

lofty depot
#

Scroll, in this economy

misty glade
#

Or have AI read the chat for you and summarize, w/e

royal zenith
#

but yeah it's awkward either way

#

requires specific choices per fight

livid jay
#

yea cringe

#

not even per fight

#

per raid

#

cause it depends on how much your team blasts 😄

#

different every fcking week

royal zenith
#

also mythic will be different

livid jay
#

ye

royal zenith
#

heroic was just pain

#

especially on a first time run

#

with new 4set

livid jay
#

thats me tonight

#

we had first raid of week yesterday

#

today hc splits

lofty depot
#

Week 2 gonna be pain

maiden pasture
#

I cant believe all the dimensius adds count on logs, padding pigs ICANT

royal zenith
#

there's moment you kinda need to send cooldowns

#

moments*

misty glade
#

I had H dimensius last night with new UI and WA's and new 4pc, and I felt like a goddamn moron.

royal zenith
#

like killing titan on nexus king

lofty depot
#

Just minus 1-2 minutes

royal zenith
#

where you're like "okay should I send or not.... add needs to die... but damage amp"

maiden pasture
#

In our 2nd run I was able to just send on boss luckily

lofty depot
#

And then lock on top anyway

royal zenith
#

hahahah

livid jay
royal zenith
#

that's the worst part

maiden pasture
#

Nothing is worse than first boss right now

#

If you do the correct prog play your class doesn't work

#

GG

royal zenith
#

Im sad

#

tierset had so much potential

calm ibex
#

True

#

Had to reroll because it got nerfed

#

Because we have a feral Druid too

lofty depot
#

If it's too powerful they'll stack boomkins, meanwhile.,....

royal zenith
#

dont get me started

#

am actually mad about that

#

LMAO

insane comment by morgan

lofty depot

Wowtwt levels of spewing

what are you playing now?

lucid olive
#

shut down dreamgrove

wintry umbra
lucid olive
#

this spec needs a full blown rework

#

Naguura needs to announce the Moonkin rework live on stage at Gamescom and strongarm the devs into doing it

obsidian tapir
lofty depot
#

And the 3 bottom specs were buffed

#

Tragically, boomkin wasn't bottom 3

#

Next week it will be

normal pilot
#

yeah thinking your action has any impact on development is falling into the same parasocial trap

#

stop paying/playing what's not fun and do something that is fun

#

unles you're a masochist, if so then keep gaming balance

lofty depot
#

Can u tell me something to do that's fun?

lucid olive
#

gta rp

That's dead til 6

And 6 does come to PC til 2027

sly wadi

I think playing boomie is fun 😄

lofty depot

I'm glad ur having fun

wintry umbra
lofty depot
#

U can do the lowest damage without playing the worst talents.

maiden pasture
#

How long has it been since there was no moonkin in any single boss for world first?

lofty depot
#

Our talents don't change our spec that much to lower our damage by a significant margin

worthy pond
#

Dawnbreaker has to be the most bugged dungeon ever right? I feel like every time I'm there I see a new bug

lofty depot
#

But u could say the same thing about ele

#

Or rather enh

worthy pond
#

ba dum tss

lofty depot
indigo barn
#

Shadowlands had boomkins on rwf, or we not counting that exp?

indigo barn
#

Oh it was no moonkin question

#

Rip

lucid olive
#

If you count just Liquid who got world first Aberrus then that's the tier I'm pretty sure

#

idk if there was a chicken in the non-rwf guilds that killed the first 3 while Liquid did splits

lofty depot
#

Well echo ran it

lucid olive
#

yeah but they didn't win innit

lofty depot
#

Hmm

lucid olive
#

they also didn't get first on any boss

covert coyote
#

how many times was moonkin run not just purely for the druid buff *

lofty depot
#

Noobs had a moonkin, no wonder

lucid olive
#

Kazzara, Zaqali, Experiments and Amalgam Chamber

#

were the 4 bosses Liquid didn't get first

lofty depot
#

Time to take AI away from mages

#

They're stacked and brought without it

make it make sense blizzard

lucid olive

crazy they buffed it

#

at least I get to watch my goat Krona

digital berry

#

shirley

also if they do bugfix they usually don't put in blue post

Oh

Tbh that bug warrants a hotfix no way they keep us broken for days

new?

digital berry

What’s the bug?

lofty depot

Absorbed damage doesn't calculate into dryad favor buff

That makes sense. This game bro

lofty depot

Ftfy

if its not fixed ill just swap back 2p 2p for 1st boss lmao

lofty depot

"we want to make sure they're good at AOE", isn't good at either AOE fight

Also, have fun playing p3 on araz

is s3 4p a significant dps loss in EC aoe compared to 2p2p for anyone else

how much am i gimping myself running orbital strike for 2minute ca to line up trees and convoke easier

covert coyote

i assume a lot just wondering the %

jaunty blaze

The sim tells you the percentage aswell

leaden birch
#

are people pugging hardmode taz

digital berry
#

Yeah but with no expectation of getting it without dying

lofty depot
#

Echo did it

worthy pond
#

Does Taz0 not work in the group finder? I can never find any groups for it and nobody signs up to mine. What are the hardmode runs listed under

sick flame
#

Echo got 2 daggers also

digital berry
#

Quick question, what does max actually do for liquid

digital berry
#

All I hear him say mid pulls is don’t die

nova ocean
#

It's crazy that we aren't even good on the council fight one of the few things we tend to be good on

lofty depot
#

Strat decisions, call out audibles or healer cds if something crazy hapoens

obsidian tapir
#

mythic weapon > crafted staff > heroic dagger ?

lofty depot
#

Generally yes

#

Sim it

obsidian tapir
#

dunno if I am dumb but everyday my sims are different

digital berry
#

I’m probably just crafting a 2h and calling it a day

urban crescent
#

reroll lock angle fellas?

obsidian tapir
#

1 day staff is better other day is 2h crafted

digital berry
#

Why would you reroll lock when elly is right there

urban crescent
lofty depot
#

Cuz one of those is stacked

viral cliff
#

probably going staff craft if I dont get dagger out of vault

urban crescent
#

was gonna go feral but a few of these fights seem super cringe for melee

digital berry
urban crescent
#

is the 4p still bugged to not work on absorb shields

viral cliff
#

I dont plan to

lofty depot
#

That's what everyone says about melee and then it ends up being fine.

viral cliff
#

but my current weapon is a shitty delve staff

lofty depot
urban crescent
#

thanks

#

is soul hunters really annoying to cleave as melee or is it a tank issue

viral cliff
#

the one boss like zooms around?

lofty depot
#

Tank issue prob

urban crescent
#

yea

#

can you stack all 3 or does he just fuck off

quartz walrus
#

I am trying to find switch from S2 4P to S3 2P. Didnt see anything pinned. SimC looks like 4P to 4P but Id like to confirm.

lofty depot
#

Well u have to move the other bosses when 1 dashes yes

urban crescent
#

ah ok

lofty depot
urban crescent
#

we have 3 locks already do i just become the 4th lock

lofty depot
#

There's still people in top 20 guilds raiding as boomkin

We have 2 Elly and every day I’m more and more tempted to reroll to it

Tbh I think the only reason he has viewers is that it’s a less annoying stream than the official liquid one. I don’t want to hear interviews during a pull haha

I'm really enjoying watching the balance druids represent in the RWF.

is frac puggable on heroic?

probably not

Any idea what to do with the 15 overcapped crests?

lofty depot
#

Upgrade mythic items

lucid olive
#

degrade it to runed fr

dry compass
#

Pugging heroic frac sounds miserable

night gulch
#

if we are not playing potent enchantments, do we just send a single ca charge at 4 mins and then send a single trees+ca whenever it comes up later or is it worth it to wait for 2 charges like the opener even if it is delayed?

dry compass
#

Even the liquid split couldn't get everyone with a functioning aura kekw

# digital berry Wdym

The crests that would otherwise eat into next week's cap (from what I have read, I could be dead wrong)

thats not what they do..

digital berry

red nymph
#

so with every class below us getting a buff tomorrow, does that mean balance will official be bottom of charts?

lofty depot
#

Let me officially determine the strength of the class before seeing what happens, yesyesy

gentle scaffold
half sierra

there are classes below balance?

round field
#

yes

red nymph
#

aug arms and ret

round field
#

arms ret fire aug

#

3 of which are getting buffs

#

and aug is sleeper op actually

lofty depot

Also, funny tuning happen before everyone gets tier, so even if they would've been ahead in 2 weeks. Now they're really ahead

round field

fake low

red nymph

except for the end part where its still alive

dry compass
#

Fire being good enough to be triple stacked on soul hunters and still getting buffed is hilarious

frigid niche
#

what is the cost of starsurge with talent in raid ?

dry compass
#

36 or 40 asp depending on talents

#

Or free with procs

pale whale
#

Wtf I go on holiday for 2 weeks at the start of the tier and just checked the discord, is balance actually performing as poorly as people are saying?

#

Is it just because of gear item level and stat scaling?

lofty depot
#

nop

round field
#

Its just shit

lofty depot
#

the class as a base level isnt good

pale whale
#

So I basically have just done normal on mu balance druid and I have both druid and shadow priest at 685. Is it legitimately worth gearing balance for progress or nah?

dry compass
#

It's pretty weak baseline and while other classes get 10-20% boosts from their tier sets we get like 5%

normal pilot
#

there's no reason to play balance other than you just like the spec

lofty depot
pale whale
#

Someone's wife at blizzard isnt playing balance anymore lmao

lofty depot
#

no one at blizzard is playing balance anymore

pale whale
#

Tbh I got bored of balance in dflight and when tww released the hero talents made me enjoy it again.

#

I wouldn't even be mad if EC became main ST spec, really like that hero tree

normal pilot
#

it's fine if you just enjoy how it plays/looks

lofty depot
#

fake opinion

#

u would be mad

#

u just dont know it yet

normal pilot
#

just don't look for any other reason to play it

pale whale
#

I've gotta play what my team needs, if balance ain't cutting it dmg wise, I can't see why my team would keep 2 balance druids over spr and balance

hi how do i play cleave and multiple adds? like forgeweaver araz and sould binder

Dot the big guys, starfall to keep dots active

st boss and pillars

can you create/boost a new class to 80 on ptr or only copy?

haha true

#

get that easy parse

upper anvil

tempted to try EC tbh

#

dont we play EC on soul hunters as well

dapper wing
#

Don't you're low on boss damage and that boss has a burn phase

#

you NEED st damage on that fight

lofty depot
#

tell the st classes to do st damage

#

im an aoe spec

#

@morganday

dapper wing
#

And EC needs you to be able to stand still to cast

gentle scroll
#

Spread aoe specifically

radiant wyvern
#

Don't meant to interrupt but is casting 5 regrowths pre-fight for a buffed wrath better than casting it naked?

upper anvil

so like am i starfiring to stay in solar escp, dot everything and starfall when theres adds but just spam wrath onto the boss?

gentle scroll

if they stack mobs up they are doing it to spite your damage

anyone else complete a T11 and not get the cracked keystone?

do u need to aoe them, then prep and starfire

If they are dying fast, starsurge boss

do u need to kill echo, stay solar

for anyone that missed venthyr boomy and doing ALL your damage in a 20 second window every 2 min or so, this is the season for you 😄 for anyone who wished this upon us, ill see you in the flames

at least venthyr had pulsar, no?

royal zenith
#

nope

lofty depot

the problem with that is we dont do that level of damage

royal zenith

only in prepatch

it's nowhere near venthyr

guys, I'm looking to pug heroic frac, anything I need to know about that fight? do I just listen to Northernsky WA?

#

I've done it on normal but ngl, don't even know what happened when we did it

#

it just kinda died

royal zenith
#

follow wa

#

it's piss easy

leaden birch

okty

royal zenith

even if you fuck up you can yolo, as long as you dont put walls in the same spot where the rest is, or well, where not many are

So... Good luck

and I guess in the last phase

#

but surely they have a shaman

#

drop a windrush

errant flint
#

I have like 6 assigned to me

royal zenith
#

yeah that's insane

errant flint
#

We have a feral, another boomy, 2 shamans

royal zenith
#

2nd big circles is fine

#

1st probably overlaps with coolies

#

and considering you are all stacked in last phase it would be silly to not just use windrush

#

but I dunno

#

RL things

#

shrug

errant flint
#

Oh and we have 2 locks

lofty depot
#

Assigning u all of them is troll

errant flint
#

Like im ass but damn I cant learn my cd’s well if I have to time a roar everytime it comes off cd

lofty depot
#

Generally I tell my RL that I can do it there for X reason. And they make a shaman or our feral do it

errant flint
#

Yea cuz feral doesnt have to shift to bear form right?

leaden birch
#

correct

lofty depot
#

X reason being I'm in CDs, or I'm across the room or w.e

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

I mean, having to shift into bearform should never be an argument against roaring

#

but assigning 6 is overkill

#

especially on that fight

errant flint
#

Taking that and making it my point to assign me less roars

lofty depot
#

It's not my argument I use

#

I generally am doing other things

errant flint
#

Or only during voidussy last phase

now you have the best of 3 worlds

Well u do no damage, so might as well do some mechanics

#

Get to work bud

errant flint

I hate youre right

royal zenith

low dps, mechanics, poor movement

maiden pasture

wot are u playing this tier deux

lofty depot
#

Then again, if ur the best player and can do mechanics while doing dps

But I don't get assigned 6 roars soz

Question for you more experience boomies, how important is maximizing starlord and balance of all things (e.g. having a full bar of AP ready to drop when going into eclipse, refreshing starlord right away with 3 stacks)? It's a pretty strong buff, I'm assuming it makes a noticeable difference if you're doing these well

leaden birch
#

god damn people are stupid af when it comes to heroic frac

hallow falcon
#

One one of my last fights (Fractillus) I had 1.9 stacks of starlord average, that seems low to me

lofty depot
#

Not as big as u think

lofty depot
#

And or good

#

Like 2.3-2.5 is peak

#

But having good uptime is part of the minmax

leaden birch
#

where do you see your starlord avg stacks

lofty depot
#

Wowanalyzer

leaden birch
#

pretty sweet

#

my soulbinder kill last night I had 2.3 avg

lofty depot

and I only wasted 0.55% of my ap

still only purple logs

i have never checked my starlord avg on a fight

it was what god wanted it to be

I just try to enjoy boomie and ignore logs now. I'm avg top 3 dps in my guild, check logs, grey parse...meh is what it is

mm now that im awake and semi functional
would anyone be willing to just help go through my logs? trying to improve, reading compendium as time permits but I know im just not doing enough and can do better. (I tend to learn by doing) but I take notes. just a lot
TLDR need log help so I dont feel like im sand bagging or ratting https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/spirestone/druidless?difficulty=3 (there are heroic logs too but was fried by end of night)

I haven't played Balance since shadowlands where I remember balance of all things/starlord were a big damage upgrade/something to minmax, just wasn't sure how much things have changed 😅 and I healed last season so I'm very rusty on DPS, it's fun getting back into it though, I don't need to top DPS

normal pilot
#

s1 boat was just overpowered, they've nerfed it significnatly since then

lofty depot
#

Well they are things to minmax, but the minmax of all of our shit isnt that big. Where u gain DPS is canceled casts and prepping for movement

normal pilot
#

and starlord was never that important, it's just there wasn't much else to minmax so may as well

viral cliff

what the fuck was I doing NotLikeDuck

Actually, this brings me to a question: better to overcap on AP to get into Eclipse or send a surge to not overcap?

lofty depot

No

#

U send surge at the end of eclipse

#

Never overcap

viral cliff

like I get it that its full of fuck ups, I just want to fix it to be better im not expecting to be jesus but these arent good either

making sure to spend all ap before eclipse ends is a good rule to have, ty

Don’t spend it all

no clue if honest

maybe someone's math is off and boomie will be good thinkies

vital slate

A dumb question (I’m confused as tried to search for info and all pages says some other things):
is elune’s chosen the spec to go also for raids? Switching back to boomkin, and for single/cleave fights it seems to be better (in many tier lists) than keeper, while people still sports keeper. Not sure where to put my 1st steps.

leaden birch
#

kotg for raid usually

leaden birch

#

there are some bosses in the new raid that EC can be played on

i pumped a 99 parse yesterday with EC on soulbinder heroic

Afenars and many like it get posted on patch and never revisited

Also, u just got a pay attention

signal meteor
#

how quickly does the ritual forge decay int and is it worth delaying the usage in a double CA until closer to when the dryad buff fades?

I have just an internal clock knowing it's about 12 seconds

Some people added a sound when it's like 5 seconds but seems dumb

any idea if the voidglass kriss/spire and trinket set is good?

yeah maybe i'll give oi's a run

dapper wing

Kris is bis, trinket is ass

lofty depot
#

Spire also meh

fading glade
#

mm figured as much with the trinket, shame the set is ass

dapper wing
#

Can only really use trinket if you have the weapon and even then other trinkets beat it

lofty depot
#

Well ig trinket is like 3/4 best

#

But yea meh

fading glade
#

got the trinket out of timewalking chest and was hyped when hero kriss dropped but simmed like 2 proc increase with set

If it Sims good for you

Use it until it doesn't Sim better

But yes is good for a bit

dapper wing
#

Stats change at 4set

empty girder

so 4p I would need to get more crit and that's when egg is better, right?

lofty depot
#

Well egg might not be better

#

It's always been a beans trinket

#

But parapod or crystal might be

dapper wing
#

And Astral antenna is goated

empty girder
#

The one from db

dapper wing
#

Mhm

#

It's a decent trinket

viral cliff
#

probably dumb question how do I sim to see which crafted weapon to do? is that just a top gear? wanted to sim to see which crafted staff to do (more than likely going that route)

dapper wing
#

Top gear

#

You just type in vagabond staff

#

Then 720 ilvl. Do the different stats see which one you want

lofty depot
empty girder
lofty depot
#

It's basically a lower stat trinket antenna

dapper wing
#

But infinitely farmable

#

So you are guaranteed to get it eventually

lofty depot
#

And then maybe add ur crests for next week. Then add items and sim. It will tell u what ur 2 sparks should craft into

2h is likely what most should craft

U mean the 1 button rotation?

round field
#

No he means highlight

bleak crane
#

I think It does a pretty good job but also im a casual player

dapper wing
#

Never played with highlight on ngl

#

But tbh the boomie rotation isn't like... advanced

#

So it's probably mostly correct?

bleak crane
#

It prioritizes dots and being on eclipse overall

round field

one button ec is solid for keys

it's 100% a sim angle if you want to know

I def like lily and was surprised it wasnt s tier

maybe the effect trinket is a good placeholder
